The American. Lftngiiftge Course (ALO is a comprehensive, multiíeveJ language program for
teaching English for vocatíonal and professional pur poses, It is designed primarily for intensiva
English language training in a classroom setting, but can easily be adapted for slower-paced

Engliah Language Center (DLIELC), whichis a US Department of Defense school under the
operational control of the US Air Forcé. The primary fbcus of the ALC is to proviíle a language
curriculum for a diversu intornationul military population, To that end, the course includes not
only general English topics, but also military topicsof a general nature highlightíng the typiral
language military personnel will encounter in their professional and vocational career fields,
The ALC has, however, alao been vcry successfully used in tion-military learntng environments
and in US high schools with immigrant student populations.

Notes to the Student
The American Language Course focuses orí four componeros of language learning:
vocabulary, grammatical structures, language fanctions, and skills.
• The lessons present vocabulary (individual words as well as expressions) that the
learner needs to understand and use in order to communicate effectively in English,
Each new lesson buildson the vocabulary of the previous lessons. The language
included is apprupriate fbr learnerfí working in professional and vocational contesta.
A signiilcant feature of the General English phase ofthe ALC is that military
vocabulary is included wherever applicable,
• The presentaron of gramtnar ís carefully sequenced. The grammatical structures
presented in the lessons are the forma a language Learner needs ín order to speak
and write standard English. New grammar is often depicted in charts or tables that
serve to focus the learner's attention on the particular structurt? buíng presuntod.
• Language functions are the ways we use a language to coinin única te. In each lesson,
exercises that focus on functions show the learner how and when tu use certaín
words, phrases, and sentences.
• In addition, language ünd atademic skills exercises are interspersed throughout the
Lessons. These focus on developing the learner's language prufidency in LiRtenin^,
apeaking, reading» and writing.
The Scope and Sequence chart located on the previous page shuwñ the content ofthe
current book. The four coLumns outline the new material as it relates to the language
acquisition components described above. Each lesson begins with a tuble of ccmU3uty
followed by a preview page.The preview page provides a summary ofthe new material
presented in the lesson. Each ALO book has four lessons introducin^ new material
and one review lesson, These are folluwed by a híimework section and daily evaluation
esercises. Various appendices are also included.
Ttie homework and the evaluation exercises are at the back ofthis test. It generally
takes about two hours to complete the daily homework assignments. The evaluation
exercises are short quixzes that give both the teacher and the student feedback on how
well students have learned the material.
The appendices follow the fifth lesson. AppendixA provides an alphabetical liat of
new vocabulary presentad in this book. The number ofthe lesson in which each word
or phrase is introduced is provided next to the entry. Appendix B presents a list of
grammatical structures introduced in the book; a lesson number is provided along with
each entry for easy reference. The other appendices are included as reference materiaLs,

Why Should I Remodel My Home?

There are two good reasons to remodel your homo. The most popular reasun is
to have a more beautiful house tu enjuy. You should think about getting a new
kitchen or bathroom. You could enlarge same rooms or add on a few. A good
choice is to add a bedroom with a bathroom. Another reason to remodel is to sell
the house. Perhaps the house is oíd and needs to look better. Maybe tlie kik'hen
is too small or the house noeds an extra bathroom. Changes that fix these
problems will bring a higher price for the house.

US Foresta and Fires

A. The USA has thnusands of forests which face

the problem of forest fires. For over 100 years, the
American government tried to manage forest fires
by keeping them from ever starting. If a fire started,
firemen put it out quicEdy. But in the last 20 yeara,
the governrnent has learned that forests occasionally
need fireg. Foresta can get too ftill of oíd treea and
leavcs, and fires clean the foresta by burning thoae,
without killing the treey. Because foreats did noL
have any fires for so many years, now many foresta
are full of oíd, dry wood. Some of those forests have
caught fire and have had the worst firea ever aeen
becauae they had too much oíd wood. Now the
government manages forest fires by letting some of
the firss burn while watching them careñilly.

B. People cauae two of every

thr«e forest fires, usually by
accident. For 50 yeara, the
government has used a black
bear in cartoons to apeak about
foreat fires. The cartoons are on
TV. The bear's ñame ís Smokey
Bear. The government thinka that
Smokey Bear has helped people
stop causing fires. Smokey tells
people to be careful when they
use ñre in the forest. Forexample, if they make a small fire to cook fbod, they
should use water to put out the fire when they have finíshed cooking, Also, people
who smokE- rnust be suri? to put out theír cigaretlea completely. This and other
information have helped people be more careful about using fire in the foreat.

María Montessori: An Italia ti Editcator

1. María Montessori was a doctor and cducator in Italy almos! 100 years ago. In
1907, she started a difierent kind of school for childrcu in a poor neighborhood
near Rome. The school was called The Children's House. The achool became
very famous quickly because thc childrt-n learned so much in a short time.
Professionals came írom all over the world to watch her classes and teacherü.
By 1915, more than a hundred Montessori achoola opened in countries around
the world, most in the USA.
Topk;
Main Idea: .

2. At first, there were many Montessori schools in the USA. Then in 1914» two
famous profcssionals in American eduííation said that Dr. Montessori's schooJs
were not good. After that, most of them closed. Today, there are again many
Montessori schools in the USA because parents now think that they are very
good. Most of them are prívate schools, and parentshave to pay tosead their
children there, Most oí these schools are for childron in elementary suhuol
through middle school. Theae schools give a choice to parents who want a
difTerent kind of school for their child.

 EXERCISE V Read and underline the important words and phrases.

Wlial is so dlfferent about Montessori schools? Dr, Montessori had a ncw way of
thinking about children and education. She believed that children love to learn if
the teacher gives them choíces about what to learn and when to learn it. The
teacher is supposed to watch carefully to SGC whon a chi]d is ready to learn
something new. Thcn the teacher has to give the child the right toóla and the right
inatructions. The teacher starts teaching the child alune or in groups if others want
tojoin. After that, the teacher then watches and helps only if a child or group wants
help.This kínd of education foliows the idea that teaching (math yr reading, for
example} should take place only when a child is ready lo learn, not when the school
schedule says it's time to teach something.

Speller. It became popular and helped many children learn to spell English
correctly. He wanted more people to know about his books, so he went irom
town to town showing them to people. He called them "American books ftir
